  • sigo amando a samsung y los felicito por la nueva tecnologia y el exelente gusto en los diseņos Posted by carlos arturo rodriguez , colombia-sur america
  • P565 comes with only Pocket IE. Tried Opera 9.5beta but it consumed too much RAM that led to system lag (reduced from 50MB to less than 10MB). Any other good browser that would required less RAM on running ?

    The machine is really fast. But seems requiring more RAM than others, e.g., my Sansung Omnia even during other normal operations. Any simialr experience and solution ?
